This evening, I was returning from running some errands in Rexburg, about 35 minutes away. I was on a route that has 65 mph speed limit, but my steering wheel, recently, started shaking when I hit speeds of 55-60. I had my tires balanced about 3 months ago, when I had my oil changed, but obviously, it's not gonna wait till the next oil change. I knew I needed to call and make an appointment. I need new tires and now seems like the perfect time to purchase them, with the tires needing to be balanced. But this week, I've felt God's restraint; I heard His, "Wait."
So, I asked the Lord tonight on the way home, "I know you said You wanted me to use the money You've already given me needs to go toward medical bills." I need new tires, I don't want to be illegal, please send me the $500 to get them. (I called to set an appointment to have the tires balanced and they gave me an appointment at 8 a.m. tomorrow morning.)
When I got home, I was unloading the car, when I got a telephone call. The person on the other end was calling to tell me that they felt led to call me and tell me they were putting a check for $500 in the mail tomorrow and wanted to let me know! Lol. I told them about my conversation with the Lord on the way home and we both rejoiced in God's goodness! God supplies all our needs according to His glorious riches in Christ Jesus!
Our Heavenly Father knows what we need, before we even ask!
Matthew 6:25-34 says,
25 “Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? 26 Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? 27 And which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to his span of life? 28 And why are you anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin, 29 yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
30 But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is alive and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? 31 Therefore do not be anxious, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ 32 For the Gentiles seek after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them all. 33 But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.
34 “Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble."
I'm not special! God takes care of ALL His children! ALL His children are special because He is our Father! That's what makes us special! We obey God's truths and He keeps His promises!
Every promise has a premise! The premise is our part, the promise is God's part! We do our part and God fulfills His part! The premise (our part), in this passage of scripture, is we are not to be anxious for tomorrow; about our life, what we will eat, drink or wear. We are to seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness! This is our part! What's the promise? The promise (God's part) is "and all these things shall be added unto you." We are to seek Him and His righteousness and are not to be anxious about our needs, but trust God for them, because He promises to provide them! (if we do our part)
No one knew my need tonight, no one knew about my prayer request, except for God, alone. Lol. He let me know tonight, ahead of my 8 a.m. appointment, that I set for tomorrow, to have my tires balanced, that HE was providing for the tires I asked Him for!
We serve a great God! His love for us is far beyond what we can think to fathom! He promises to provide for His children, those that love Him, who seek Him and His righteousness, who trust in Him!
He is God, He is able to do the impossible, the unimaginable, those things that only God can do!!! He is the Promise Keeper, our Provider, the Lover of our Souls! He takes great delight in His children and HE is worthy of glory, honor and praise! His love is far beyond what we imagine! He is Faithful! His love will never fail or run out on us! He says, "I have loved you with an everlasting love!"
If you're reading this, I'm praying for you to understand the depth of God's love for you! We get that, and it will be life changing! We will know Rest, because Rest is a Person.
Ephesians 3:18 says,
"And may you have the power to understand, as all God's people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep his love is."
Romans 8:39 says,
"Neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord."
